Language Processing and Grammars: The role of functionally oriented computational models - 150

There is a growing awareness of the significance and value that modelling using information technology can bring to the functionally oriented linguistic enterprise.

This encompasses a spectrum of areas as diverse as concept modelling, language processing and grammar modelling, conversational agents, and the visualisation of complex linguistic information in a functional linguistic perspective.

This edited volume offers a collection of papers dealing with different aspects of computational modelling of language and grammars, within a functional perspective at both the theoretical and application levels.

As a result, this volume represents the first instance of contemporary functionally oriented computational treatments of a variety of important language and linguistic issues.

This book presents current research on functionally oriented computational models of grammar, language processing and linguistics, concerned with a broadly functional computational linguistics that also contributes to our understanding of languages within a functional and cognitive linguistic, computational research agenda.
